The only thing I can find with the same reference is HERE, but I don't know if you can find any relevance to your problem. :)

Are you trying to create a logical drive through disk management in Windows?.

Is your drive already partitioned?, if not it will not allow you to alter the drive with the operating system on it.

If you have linux installed use G-Parted it it a lot easier.
